Sex in games has become quite a hot topic of late, with titles like Dragon Age: Origins, Mass Effect and Alpha Protocol injecting a little sordid filth to keep things spicy. While some rail against the inclusion of such titillating chicanery, there is an organization that has demanded even more flesh on display.
That organization is GoTopless (link is NSFW), a group dedicated to eliminating double standards when it comes to women being allowed to go topless in public. A noble cause indeed, I think you'd agree. The women (and pervy men) behind this group recently applauded Dragon Age's commitment to bare breasts, but voiced disapproval in the lack of visible nipples.
"Our organization claims that women have the constitutional right to go topless public in the name of gender equality and we are happy that videogames are exploring that possibility," states the organization, "though we notice in the picture that the character's hair is conveniently covering the 'indecent' nipple ...."
GoTopless leader Nadine Gary adds: "Breasts are noble parts of the anatomy. Free your breasts, free your mind!' is our message to women."
I very firmly support breasts of all kinds, and believe that we should help encourage this campaign as much as possible. As far as I'm concerned, if you disagree with this organization, you are literally Adolf Hitler, and you should be considered a monster of Biblical proportions. More boobs, please!
Man, this story is great.

I see precisely what you did there.
Yeah, I remember when some women criticized God of War for having female nudity and no male nudity. Uh, hello? It had topless men and women! So there!
Or even worse, depict them!
This organization has a point, since breasts aren't a sex organ why are they banned. I'm not a perv(even though that is their motto) but it just seems weird.
about as believable as the magic invisible man who loves you did it.
Though my dream of ball sacks as far as the eye can see must come first
As for games, I have long wanted sex to be treated in a more interesting and possibly provocative way in games. Think "Eyes Wide Shut" and not "Friday the 13th."
Games like Fallout touch briefly on sex, but seem afraid to really confront it, despite the social commentary aspects of the game making it completely valid in my opinion. Even a summer blockbuster type game could do it on a more shallow level in my opinion, as long as it is not completely gratuitous like, as mentioned, a "Friday the 13th."
Similarly, I really don't see what the big deal is with ratings censoring nudity more than anything else. For that matter, films get away with full nude shots, so why can't games?
And didn't GTA IV have fully rendered hi-def COCK in it?
AWESOME.
But seriously though, when done right, nudity in games can actually do just as much as nudity in movies. Not porn movies though. . .
You're a sports bra?
She does like
ed hardy clothing.
AND THE WITCHER. Course, had the port to consoles not been cancelled, you woulda have known about its nudity. Especially the Dryad nudity, nipples in plain sight!
Humour aside, I think they have a case. Games are scared of covering such topics in case of being scorned and upsetting shareholders etc. So long as money is the main motivation, nothing will ever change.
Doing nudity in a medium to shallow way, might be the only way to do it, beyond a full on Hot Coffee 2 or a God of War quick time touchy feel. Those mature age ratings should do their job, so creators can create mature content, without fear of persecution.
In the name of equality, more boobs would also mean more GTA/Watchmen style wang, so be careful what you wish for.
Your Photoshop skills are formidable.
However, most people really need to wear clothes.
Exhibit A.
These comments are why games are so shite most of the time. Grow up.
It's also a cultural issue in terms of activities that don't require support (like sports)... Americans don't have as many nude or topless beaches as Europe and that's just the way the American culture is. Personally I'm all for choice... though I don't think people would be nearly as impressed if toplessness became the norm. I went to University right next to a nude beach and the majority of the nudists... well, let's just say that only about 1% of them actually look "good". Those firm C cups only stay perky if they're given the daily support to keep them perky or if they are made from silicon... otherwise toplessness invariably results in sadly saggy boobs. :(
ikiryou, is that the wrestler once known as Mabel? Also Viscera, or some other stupid thing? Good lord.
